...academic focus, the plan tries to return to what Rodrik says he and other faculty believed was the center’s original intent. Financially, the plan grows out of concerns on the part of the central administration not to repeat the ways of the last four years...
...Debate” (Editorial, Sept. 23) needlessly attacks University President Lawrence H. Summers for voicing his opinion. Summers’ speech was moderate and personal, and he precisely said that the petition is among the actions that are “anti-Semitic in their effect if not their intent.” The editorial suggests that divestment is no more an attack on the people of Israel “than opposition to the Bush’s administration’s policies is an attack on the American people”.

To unfairly characterize the intentions and activities of any Harvard student group is both divisive and hurtful. Certainly, the suggestion that any group of students at Harvard has contributed to racism or lawlessness is a serious matter, and such accusations must not be made carelessly. Additionally, the prerogative of student organizations to voice legitimate support or protest should not be stifled by reflexive accusations of anti-Semitism. We reiterate our deep concern...
